Abstract
Adolescent migrant girls face unique challenges to their sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) due to their intersecting identities as women, young people, and migrants. Since the first International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in 1994, reports have increasingly emphasized the prioritization of SRHR for marginalized groups. In this article, I examine the response to contraceptive care needs through the case study of Venezuelan adolescent migrant girls in Colombia, utilizing Reproductive Justice as an analytical framework. I evaluate how state and non-state actors' responses address the intersections of gender, age, and migration to create environments that discourage contraceptive care access. I collected qualitative data through multi-perspective interviews conducted during ethnographic fieldwork in 2022. The sample includes 30 adolescent migrant girls and key informants involved in designing and delivering policies or programs for Venezuelan migrants in Colombia. Overall, the findings show that both state and non-state actors favored short-term, "urgent" interventions over access to adolescent-friendly, migrant-inclusive contraceptive care. I conclude that responses fragment aspects of SRH, deprioritizing contraceptive care and other longer-term intersectional responses in favor of urgent responses, which, in turn, further marginalize adolescent migrant girls. To overcome this, the post-ICPD agenda must recognize SRHR as a continuum and shape responses, aligning responses with the reproductive realities of adolescent migrant girls.
